Here's one way, using E as a helper column.

In E1 put
=IF(ISERROR(FIND($C$1,A1)),"",1)

In E2 put
=IF(ISERROR(FIND($C$1,A2)),"",MAX($E$1:E1)+1)
and copy down past the end of the list.

In D1 put
=IF(ROW()MAX(E:E),"",INDEX(A:B,MATCH(ROW(),E:E,0) ,2))
and copy down past the end of the list.

Hope this helps getting started.
